Inspired by the real Hachiko, a Japanese dog whose statue is immortalised at a Japanese station
This version stars Richard Gere and shot at Rhode Island, a quiant town (my sister had a pen pal once from Rhode Island in the 70's)
Hachiko waits at the station at 5 pm without fail for his master
Beautiful perfect dog
together they will go back, they share a close bond
he has a normal family life, his daughter gets married
look at the time on the clock, at 5 when he gets off the station, he plays with his dog
professor and dog
the cute little station
Columbus, the place where the professor lectures
the only nemesis that can prevent the dog from going to the station
the skunk is blocking the entrance, and Hachiko did not dare to go to the station!
the house where his master stays
the little roundabout where Hachi will wait
things changed one day
Hachi waited till dark
but his master did not alight
yet he waits
at 5 p.m. sharp
in any weather
and waits
till dark........
the house has been sold
his shed now has a new owner too
what he does not know is that his master has died
he was not brought to the funeral
he still looks for his master to come out
which he never did
this is the part where the flood gates start
faithfully the dog waits for his master
now he looks sad
his family moved and brought him to the new house
but he is indifferent, even to the baby in the walker
as soon as she opens the door, Hachi runs out!
her husband runs after Hachi!
Hachi went back to the station!
the tracks where his master travelled
back to the old station
other dogs have master/mistress...where is his master?
he goes back to his usual waiting place
takes up sentry
not even other dogs can distract him
life goes as usual around himpeople come and go
but not a sign of his master
many summers
many springs
many autumns
and winters......for nearly a decade, he waits
he always comes back to this house
until he realise his master will not appear here anymore 
she is touched, such faithfullness is astounding
spoiler alert! spoiler alert!!!!
how is the show going to end????
(If you're wondering about the breed (race) of the dog Hashi, it's an Akita, a really cute Japanese dog. )
he always comes back to this house

not a dry eye in the house!
the first time my daughter watched this her flood gates never stopped! this is her second viewing, she is still moved to tears!
eeks! son's gigantic wad of tissues! Didn't his mother teach him to tidy up after himself?
